The Spirit of Service Award honors student-athletes with significant community service endeavors
DENTON, Texas - Senior diver Saylor Hawkins has been named one of the 13 winners of Conference USA's Spirit of Service Award for winter 2021, the conference announced Thursday.
Hawkins, a senior majoring in kinesiology, is the North Texas SAAC Co-Chair and has been instrumental in every SAAC initiative the last two years - which has included a department-wide food drive, student-athlete week of service and partnering with a local organization to promote a Special Olympics competition. Outside of her SAAC involvement, Hawkins has bought, sorted and distributed health and wellness necessities to local homeless citizens in Denton. She's a multi-semester Dean's List selection and has been a member of the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll. Athletically, Hawkins has qualified for NCAA Zones in both the 1- and 3-meter springboard while setting the program record for Platform at the C-USA Championship, finishing fourth overall. She also set a program record while winning the bronze medal in the 3-meter springboard at the C-USA Championships.
